MOMO .... BIG MOMO.
Granted the man has been out of form this season, but he's still a beast of a player breakin the play down all over.
Do we really need a holding player against the likes of Wigan at home, by playing Mascherano?
Momo said himself he plays best with Alonso, he wins the ball and passes to him. His best games have been when he's had someone rite next to him to give quick passes too. He played brilliant a few seasons back, when we reached our record level of points, with him and Alonso in the middle. This season, when he's had a passing player close to him, the likes of Alonso, Lucas (as per Newcastle) he can be very effective. Gerrard plays too far from him, and passing isn't one of Momos great pastimes.
While granted Mascherano is a brilliant player too, do we really need a holding player when we play the likes of Wigan, infact a holding player with limited offensive ability of Mascherano is only needed against the big three. We especially need offensive players in our middle, as our forward line (bar torres) is still weak. And Mascherano is just as limited as Sissoko offensivley. But Momo gets up and down.
GIVE MOMO A CHANCE, LET HIM GET SOME FORM BACK. (When he gets back from the African Nations)
